But if JaneisntTaylor, then who is she?Well find outwhenBlindspotreturns for season 2.
JAIMIE ALEXANDER:I had a hunch.
The fact that the DNA obviously was Taylor Shaw, but how did they get that?
Did that tip you off?
Ive thought about that.
Thats not it at all.
I didnt want to assume anything.
With this show, you cannot assume anything because youre probably going to be wrong.
I noticed that a lot of Janes memories were potentially, maybe in a five-year span.
This is my guess thats where all the memories are coming from.
Does this destroy her?
Thats going to carry through for a very long time on this show.
Its like, Wait a second, what?
What else did you lie about then?
All Jane really can trust is her actual memories that she keeps having.
Its the ultimate betrayal.
I have to erase you, and shes like, You have to be crazy to do that.
If he erases her, she wont remember him, she wont remember Weller, she wont remember anybody.
Shes built friendships with Patterson, with Zapata, and now shes working on Reade, and Weller.
Just the fact that somebody that loves her so much would actually erase her again is just devastating.
And just when Jane plans to come clean with Weller, hes there to arrest her.
What Oscar did to Jane, Jane did to Weller, not knowing that she did thats the difference.
Jane would never intentionally hurt somebody.
By nature shes a good human being.
She never wants to hurt anybody.
She always tries to save everybody and help everybody.
Hes there, and she keeps pleading with him, but he wont listen to her.
Theres that part at the end when he arrests her and she pretty much gives up.
She just does it because she would never hurt him.
She goes quietly so far.
I was like, like dont make me fight him.
Its a really sad place to be.
What else has she got?
Nobody trusts her anymore.
Clearly Jane has more tattoos than weve seen in the first season.
Is this only the beginning when it comes to taking out those in power at the FBI?
I have a lot of guesses, but again, I try not to think about it too much.
Everybody believes theyre doing the right thing.
Or are they both wrong?
Its a really strange place to be in, because they mirror each other.
What surprised you most about the season?
Oh, Oscar dying.
I did not see that coming.
I was thinking character-wise.
Theres no one else, Jane doesnt know anybody else from her past.
I just didnt know that they were going tokill her.
For me, I was completely shocked and saddened, but it does make good television.
The way Martin did it was so kind.
He talked to each of us individually, sat us down, and said, Hey.
I want to tell you this now.
This is gonna happen.
It was so kind of him, because most people wouldnt do this.
Blindspotwill return to NBC this fall.
